Gaurdsman Blue...5 Speed.....Should have just bought the orphan Paul :-)

A T56 5 speed is a T5 or a TKO box. Go with a TKO for anything with more than about 300rwhp, unless you enjoy fixing / changing gearboxes.
Just saying. Treeve |

Out of interest, why do you want the 5 speed?
|
The reason for the 5 speed is , 6th gear has never been used ever , the 5 speed i have been told are a lot lighter
|
The 5 speed is a lot lighter.
The only difference in ratios is 5/6th vs 5th. 1-4 are all the same. From memory, 5th is .83 and 6th is .61, whereas 5th is .72 in a T5. I've changed the tail housing on mine so the gear lever is in the right place for my car (Dax Rush). So I've got a ford body and a holden tail housing, which moved the lever back by a couple of inches. In a cobra you'll want to move them forward, so the TKO boxes are good for this. |

The difference is 36lb or 16kg. http://www.tremec.com/anexos/File/TR...erformance.pdf Cheers, Glen |
They certainly make you huff and puff a bit when lifting one up onto the bench.
|
Would there be any interest in a T56 sequential shifting dog box with an option of 6th being 1:1 -- ideal for track use ?
with apologies for thread drift |
Thanks Mrs Flatchat , but I like it "Old School"
